On the same weekend we appoint our interim chancellor, who is a graduate of JMU, the Dukes appoint Charlie King as interim president. King received his undergraduate and master’s from [drum roll] Appalachian State.

App takes the series with a 12-3 victory in a battle of field goals (or two Rubino extra point misses).

Wouldn’t mind a few more wins by a football score this weekend. At the rate they’re going, they’ll be throwing short stops in relief by tomorrow evening.

This ball park is a few pop-up tents down the baselines from being a travel ball field.

First action should be to name Uncle Ken Chancellor Emeritus. I don’t see why that can’t be done posthumously.

Genuine question, because I truly have no idea. How much do say so do ‘our’ people having this hiring?

Hopefully more than what I fear.

I think y'all might be celebrating a little too soon. Whether you agree or not, it's not fair to say that Everts was anti-athletcs. Instead, she was consistently pouring more money into athletics, something that she faced a ton of heat from from faculty across all programs. At the same time, we hea...

Am I the only one that isn't going to pull for players when they leave App? I'm not rooting against them, but I don't feel any lingering ties to a player that transfer.

Depends on the scenario for me and who they go to. If they go to any other conference member, UNC, ECU, or Charlotte, I’d hope they fail. I wouldn’t be happy if they went to Duke, Wake or State, but I wouldn’t hope for their failure. Also depends on why they are leaving. For instance, in Xavion’s c...

Had ‘em all the way.

Four in the first. Not a bad start.

I’m surprised at JMU. Free admission sends a message that the product is no good. At least charge $5 or $10.

He is risen, indeed.

19-2 win, for the record.

Hi Hi Yikas!

I know at one time wrestling made a lot of money through camps.
